ATTENTION IPAD USERS!Apple doesn't like listing me as "Will Shakespeare (poetry blogger)"to differentiate me from the other guy, although everybody else does.They took my first book but now won't take new ones. (Go figure.)Since Smashwords distributes my books to Apple anyway, just go to my Smashwords author page and download EPUBs from there.Smashwords provides samples of my books also.

Shade

Morning comes.
The sun peeks over the earth’s edge
And darkness flees before him…
Except for them.
The shadows refuse to go.
He rises up to his full height
And glares down…
But they laugh at his burning gaze.
They huddle together, becoming
Mere dots
Made all the darker by
His growing intensity.
My hair stirs
In the gentle breezes as I stand,
Sheltered in their gentle embrace,
And sigh with gratitude.

Resident Bard

Will Shakespeare claims to be a formerly famous but now unemployed poet and playwright—a result of the poor economic climate which drove his beloved Globe Theater into bankruptcy. Shortly thereafter he moved from Stratford-on-Avon to North Carolina, where he reinvented himself as a Web poet and is attempting to resurrect his career. He’ll try almost any type of writing, funny or serious, as long as it’s in verse!
